🌞 Important Update - Mindful Art in the Park

After reviewing tomorrow’s weather forecast, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this week’s Mindful Art in the Park session (Wednesday 24th June).

Although we meet in the Greenhouse, the exceptionally high temperatures forecast mean the space is likely to become uncomfortably hot during the session. For the wellbeing and safety of participants, volunteers and facilitators, we feel cancelling is the most responsible option.

We know many people look forward to Wednesdays and we’re sorry for the disappointment. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us put wellbeing first. 💛

Please take care in the heat, stay hydrated, and we’ll see you again soon.

We had a wonderful session of mindfulness art at Creatful Buckland yesterday 🩷

At Creatful, they run community based workshops and art sessions for those who need it, whether that be an accessible session or a workshop to help better your mental health 🤍

Creatful will be joining us in the future at one of our Mindful art in the park sessions at Victoria Park Portsmouth🙌

🌦️ A little change of plan…

Unfortunately, our planned Mindful Art Alfresco session on Wednesday 10th June has been postponed due to the weather forecast.

While we were hoping to spend the entire session outdoors, the forecast is looking a little too unpredictable to guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Instead, we’ll be holding a special hybrid indoor/outdoor session on Wednesday 17th June, 11:30am-1:30pm at The Greenhouse, Victoria Park.

If the weather is kind to us, we’ll take some of our creative activities outside and make the most of the park. If not, we’ll have the indoor space available too, giving everyone the flexibility to choose what works best for them.

As always, the session is free to attend, adults only, and no artistic experience is needed.

We hope you’ll join us next week 💛

Words are a super power💛

Words for wellbeing being is a calm and creative evening where we work a little magic and make our own black out poetry. This workshop offers a safe, supportive space to rewind, breathe and reflect🙌

🗓 18th June
📍 St Faiths Community Hub
